exec task doesn't handle error conditions well

Well, I like the OnError idea.

Checking the return value works, but a) it's an ugly block of code needed after 
each and every exec and b) The ant documentation goes out of it's way to say 
that the definition of 'return code specifying failure' is OS-specific. This 
makes my code OS dependent, by making explicit that a non-zero return specifies 
failure.

In answer to Steve, yes - the errorText property is an empty string but set.

Finally, no one picked up on my first suggestion (perhaps not very clear).  If 
you set failonerror="yes", the errror message returned should quote the error 
message returned by the sub-program, and return the error code - rather than 
just telling me the error code as it does now.
